Bamberg, July 6:?The citiJ zens of Bamberg- were greatly j j aroused at an early hour last I night when it was reported that four white ladies had been held ( up only a few hundred yards beyond the city limits. Their experience was detailed by them about as follows: "Shortly after we left the j house, walking down the di.*ec- i tion of Hunter's chapel, we discovered a man, a white man, walking in the woods. He came ? i - e ? a. into toe roaa, passed a iew sieps iu front of us and pulling out his pistol, pointed it at us and told us that if we made any outcry he would kill us. We were all paralyzed with fear. There was a wide ditch by the side of the road, almost full of water. He ordered us to wade through it and go out into the woods. We did not go into the water, but finding a comparatively narrow span in the ditch, three of us managed to get across, and he assisted the fourth in cross- : ing. "He kept his pistol pointed - *1 i* . A! 1 towaias us an ine ume as uc marched us through the woods, across a barbed wire fence and into a pond, where we sunk in mud and water almost to our shoe tops. Here he ordered us to sit down in the mud and water, but no one obeyed. The ( youngest in the crowd began to cry, and about the same time a waonfl rnnld he seen in the dis- 1 tance coming along the road. The man then laughed demoniacally and said: T just wanted to show you what I could do with you,'and rag off through the wood. "He did not touch one of us except the one be helped across the ditch, but he bad us completely at his mercy and we were afraid to refuse to obey his orders." The general impression seeins to be that it was the act of a crazy man, but if so, it is passing strange that he has not yet been found. One of the ladies held up is married and is here from another part of the State on a visit, while the other three are single and reside in this community. They are all members of our best families and it is at their earnest request that their names are not given.?News & Courier, Endorses Our Vievs. The following letter from one of the Record's oldest and I most esteemed subscribers, and a man of fine intelligence and sound judgment, withal?is- duly appreciated.
